(C*'i?ri?ht. 1923.' By the Atftinni
Washington, Dec. :51.? Decision of the United States Gov
ernment to sell munitions to the Obregon government in Mexico
means more than the mere help of war materials.' It carries an
expression of moral support which may have far-reaching conse
quences in Central and South America.
Although on the surface it
? would appear that there is a
' contradiction between the pol
icy of the late President Hard
ing in refusing to supply Gov
ernment war munitions to other
countries, the decision of the
Coolidge administration is real
ly in conformity with the Hard
ing principle. Mr. Harding did
not wish to use war supplies
stored by the American Govern
ment" to encourage warfare."
Probably Mr. Coolidge would feel
the Hume way if the supplie- a ." re to
be used us be* ween two warnings na
tions both- of whirl) ?<????? oji. terms
of peace with the (,'xtlt ?*?l States. Hut
the exportation of supplies to a rec
ognized government i ?> enable it to
fiquulLit rebellion and maintain order
within its gates is a different propo
sition. For several ntonrhs there has
.been an interesting discussion going
on in t lie various foreign offices of
the world nd also iu Cenevu at the
League of Nations with Respect to
the. control of the >ale of war sup
plies. The United' States has re
fused to become a party i i the pro
posed treaty largely because of an
unwillingness to tie own hands with
res pert Jo the situation iu Central
and South America.
The smaller countries South of. the
? Rio Grande do not httvo lurg- arse
nals nor have they the nf?ces.*<try re
sources with which to make arms in
an emergency. The American gov
ernment feels that it should always
he free to supply mem witir what
ever they may need in the way fit
war matrlal. The decision of the
American government itself to do the
selling marks a radical departure in
previous plicy. however, in another
respect. Heretofore oil the traffic
I in arms has been carried on by pri
vate manufacturers were themselves
instrumental in fomenting revolts or
. at least in fanning the flames when
once the fires of revolution were
kindled. By taking* into its own
hands the *<i1e of munition^, the
Washington. Government is able t?>
maintain control of the situation and
keep private interests from becoming
entangled in a delcate problem.
While the biggest value to the
Obregon administration In the epi
) lodo is not the readiness of the Am
erican government to supply arms
but its public announcement' of sym
pathy with the existing government
in Mexico City, the decision is not
without ts dangers. The de la Huerta
f?cton is known to be much more
conservative than the Obregon ele
ments. Up to this mment. American
fastness interests Ivive not been in
volved in any sense as between de la
Hurta and Obregon. the position be
ing taken that both groups were
friendly to the American Investor
and business man. Now however, it
would not be surprising if the de la
Huerta faction charged the Obregon
administration with being the tool
of the Washington government and
if an anti-American campaign were
waged by the de la Huerta group.
That is always one of the arguments
used in Mexican politics. There la
no doubt however that when all Is
said and done t'he moral and mater
ial support of the United States gov
ernment is sufficient to squelch re
bellion in Mexfeo if the Obregon ad
ministration makes no serious blun
ders. In reality the decision to seH
Arms to the Obregon admlnstratlon
l? a timely effort to bolster up the
Obregon administration and keep
Mexico from going back Into the
v . chaos of previous years.

Ten ISillloi* Caught Yearly
"Year - ago Proles ior Huxley es- ?
. limut. d that three billion Herring
i were being caught annually. With
; the .growth of the fishing* industry
in European waters, it has been
: estimated that the annual catch now
exceeds ten billion. A single shoal
, sometimes covers ten square miles
and is estimated to contain at least
half as many herring as the whole
world catches in a year. Many such
shoals are known to exist.
"Th- Herring, unlike most fishes,
is particularly . fine flavored at
spawning time, and the fisheries are
carrit d on busily duritiu that treason.
I'sually the Herring is taken with
gill nets anchored below tiie surface
of the waters, in which so many ore
sometimes enmeshed as to ?ink the
buoy. Other forms of tak
ing it are by means of weirs and
torching. The latter Is particularly
resorted to when cold weather sets
in. A torch is set in the bow of
